As others have mentioned, you may want to look at a different brand die. I used RCBS for a long time and started having issues with them. I have gone to almost all Hornady dies now. Plus, you get free bullets for buying them. I have had better consistency with the Hornady than I did with the RCBS.
Keep it basic until you feel more comfortable with loading. Seen a lot of advice given here that is way more than a beginner needs to deal with.
